Full-Stack Social Networking Web App

I’m launching a browser-based social networking platform and need a capable full-stack developer to take it from concept to a live, maintainable product. The project covers everything: shaping the data model, building the server-side APIs, crafting a modern, responsive interface, and deploying to a cloud environment so we can scale without surprises.

You’ll have plenty of freedom to choose the exact stack, but I’m leaning toward a JavaScript-heavy approach—React or Vue on the front end paired with Node/Express or a similar framework on the back—alongside a well-structured SQL or NoSQL database. Real-time interactions, robust authentication, and an intuitive UX are central to the experience. If you prefer GraphQL over REST, or would like to introduce TypeScript, WebSockets, or a micro-service layer, let me know; I’m open to solid architectural reasoning.

Key deliverables
• Fully functional MVP deployed to a staging URL
• Clean, well-documented code in a Git repository
• Basic test coverage and CI setup
• Brief hand-over guide so my team can continue iterating

Please include links to previous web apps you’ve shipped, outline your proposed tech choices, and provide a realistic timeline for the first release. If we’re a match, I’m ready to move quickly.
